Once again you twist words while grasping at straws. Bush/Cheney specifically made claims of Iraqi ties with Al Qaeda. This was done to deliberately manipulate public opinion and to falaciously associate Saddam with 9/11.

As for those ephemeral "ties" (whatever "ties" are) to Palestinian terrorists groups listed in conclusion 91, the same could be said of just about every other Arab nation, including our good friends in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait.

But neither Mr. Bush, nor Mr. Cheney mentioned these "ties" as reasons for going to war. They both spoke erroneously of ties to Al Qaeda that did not exist.

        re: No, we're talking about having conclusions before ever having data. Then blaming bad results on the data makers. Not the best idea... (n/t) - Chris Vancil - 7/11/2004 5:08:57 AM
